Peach Nectar & Juice

part of: Peach

Peach nectar is a lush fruit drink made from peach purée blended with water and sugar. Thicker and more full-bodied than juice, it has a velvety texture and the unmistakable sweet, fragrant flavour of ripe peaches. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is added as a preservative to maintain colour and freshness.

Peach nectar is popular across southern Europe and Latin America, enjoyed chilled as a refreshing drink or used as a mixer in cocktails like the classic Bellini, which combines peach nectar with sparkling wine.

In Australia, peach nectar is available in the international foods section of supermarkets or at European and Latin American grocery stores, typically in cans or glass bottles.

How it's made

Ripe peaches are peeled, destoned, and puréed into a smooth pulp. The purée is blended with water and sugar to the desired consistency, and ascorbic acid is added to preserve colour and freshness. The nectar is pasteurised and sealed in cans for long-term storage.
